Robertshaw 5300-149 Thermostat

The Robertshaw 5300-149 is a heavy-duty single pole single throw (SPST) snap-acting electric thermostat designed for the rigorous demands of the commercial cooking industry. Engineered for high-load applications, this Robertshaw electric cooking control features silver contacts and a 25 Amp resistive rating at 250V AC, ensuring long-term durability and sustained setpoint accuracy. This model operates within a critical 100°F to 200°F temperature range with a tight 6°F mechanical differential, making it ideal for precision warming and low-temp oven applications. The 72-inch capillary provides extensive routing flexibility, while the 5/16" x 8-1/2" nickel-plated curved bulb and 3/8" stuffing box ensure robust thermal sensing and secure mounting. As a 5300 series snap-action thermostat, it includes an integrated auxiliary switch for secondary circuit management, providing reliable break-on-rise functionality for consistent thermal regulation.

• Precision Thermal Control: Maintains a stable environment with a 6°F mechanical differential across a 100-200°F span.
• High-Capacity Switching: 25 Amp resistive load rating handles heavy commercial heating elements without premature contact wear.
• Flexible Installation: Features a generous 6-foot capillary and 4-way slip-fit dial for versatile cabinet mounting.
• Enhanced Durability: Equipped with silver contacts and a nickel-plated bulb to resist corrosion in commercial kitchen environments.
• Auxiliary Integration: Built-in aux switch allows for the simultaneous control of secondary components or indicator lights.

• Can this be used to replace a standard thermostat without an auxiliary switch? Yes, the 5300-149 can replace a standard control if the thermal specs match; the auxiliary leads can simply be left unused.
• Does this model include the dial and bezel? Yes, this specific unit typically ships with the standard 1-10 bezel and 4-way dial for immediate field installation.
• Is this thermostat suitable for deep fryers? No, this model is limited to a 200°F maximum setting. For fryers, a thermostat with a higher range, typically up to 400°F, is required.
